I went with my family to enjoy a Valentine's day dinner. Owner was very friendly, made an exquisite Sour Catfish soup. Clay pot fish was tasty. Owner gave mango and beef on the house. Very good service and home cooking vibe was relaxing.
Back again for take out and really enjoyed my meal! The restaurant was fairly empty dropping by around 2:30pm on a Saturday afternoon, a handful of tables eating in. I know competition for Vietnamese food is tough in the Seattle area though this place is consistently delicious, service is friendly and helpful, food is ready very quickly, prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Pho is solid, the meat is fresh. Bun (rice vermicelli) bowls are very good, the grilled meats are well-marinated. Will be back if I'm in the area!
7 years later, this is still my ULTIMATE favorite spot for Vietnamese food. I just adore the owners as well. They seems to remember everyone :) My favorite dish here will always be the Banh Canh (Vietnamese Udon or Tapoica Noodles). Every time I bring a coworker or someone from out of town here, I insist they try this dish. Something about the broth here is different from the very few other restaurants that makes it. My other favorites are the Bun Bo Hue, Bun Rieu, Bun Mang Vit (Spicy Beef Noodle, Crab Noodle, and Duck and Bamboo Noodle). I've had so so so many dishes here - except for the pho somehow. Hahah. But overall, in the last 7 years, I don't think I've gotten anything that didn't blow my mind.
Every time I do get a chance to eat at 108, I can say the service we get here is exceptional! You'll get a family vibe coming into 108 and that's how you'll feel with the service you'll get from the owner. Usually I would order the Vermicelli with chicken, shrimp and egg rolls. But I'm glad I did, because everything was seasoned perfectly and the fish sauce to add on salad was perfect! Very satisfying and a whole lot of food!!!
The server was super nice. Let me request changes. I got grilled chicken instead of the stringy white chicken that is usually in pho, and egg noodles. Though I should have stuck with the white noodles in hindsight. I just wanted to try it out. The spring rolls were absolutely delicious! The price was kinda high for a single person eating pho at $31, but I guess that's the price to eat out alone now. The restaurant was very clean. I'll be back for sure.
Being from Houston, I am particularly picky when it comes to pho and the Seattle area's pho scene definitely leaves something to be desired. However, 108 has probably been my favorite spot so far in the area for great pho. Broth is rich and packed with all the right notes and flavors and a generous serving and selection of different meats for the combination pho. Noodles were the right texture and not overcooked like so many of the pho places I've tried. This is definitely more of a mom and pop type of shop and the interior or service isn't anything to rave about, but if you're looking for a solid bowl of pho, you should definitely swing by the next time you're in the Kent area or stopping by IKEA.
We LOVE to come here. At first we would order online on rainy days, but my friend who lived in Vietnam realized the food was much like when he was there, we had to go and meet the owner. He is SO friendly and kind. The food is delicious and service is great. It can be quite hidden with all the other shops but once you know you know! The drinks are wonderful too. If you need a go to Vietnamese spot, this is the place to go!
If this was closer, I would be here everyday. Thank you for always making yummy food. I appreciate you!!! We will be back.
On my first visit, I ordered Bun Bo Hue. When it arrived, I could instantly smell the broth. It smelled rich and full of umami. The slight aroma of the shrimp paste made me eager to taste the broth. It was everything I imagined and more. It was one of the most satisfying bun bo hue broths I have ever had. The soup was filled with meat and had my favorite, pork hock. On my second visit, I ordered the Special Rice or Egg Noodle soup with egg noodles. The broth was light, but savory & so satisfying. Again plenty of meat and the noodles were perfect. On my last visit, went back to the bun Bo hue because it's just one of faves & also ordered fresh spring rolls with grilled pork. The rolls are huge & a great value for the money. The broth was just as delicious but my noodles were lack luster. They were broken and not cooked as much as I prefer them to be. On my visits, service has always been good. The people are nice and friendly. I did notice that some foods come out quickly like pho where as some of the other soups can take up to 20 minutes or so. No complaints from me as the soup comes out piping hot & fresh. Good and authentic food.
